The deadline for submission of abstracts for papers has been extended until February 1st.
Abstracts will be submitted via Easychair.
The 21st International Congress of Linguists (ICL) will be held from 8 to 14 September 2024 in Poznan. We invite abstracts for Sections, Focus streams and Workshops. Sections will take place on Monday and Tuesday (9–10 September), Focus streams on Wednesday (11 September), and Workshops on Thursday and Friday (12–13 September).
Abstracts should clearly state the research question(s), approach, method, data, and (expected) results. They should not display the names of the presenters, nor their affiliations or addresses, or any other information that could reveal their authorship. They should contain the title, five keywords, and a text between 300 and 400 words (including examples, excluding references).
Authors may apply, upon abstract submission, for a presentation or a poster. Presentations will be organized in 30 minute slots (20 min. presentation, 7 min. discussion, 3 min. room change). Posters are always displayed during one full day. Separate time slots will be included in the program in which participants can discuss with the poster presenters.
Each abstract will be reviewed anonymously by two reviewers (section/focus stream/workshop convenor + external reviewer). Notification of acceptance will be 1 May 2024.
The topics of Sections, Focus streams and Workshops, which will be held at ICL 2024 are the following:
